Brendan’s home nurse visit today was great. He is up to 7lbs 14oz! I figured that the weight on Thursday may have been a bit off. Either way though it is a good gain for him!
He was extra cranky all last night, but he has had a good day with just a few meltdowns. He has developed a shaking technique that gets the mitts off. If he flails his hands hard enough, sometimes it works. But he has found that tucking one hand in to his armpit and then flailing works even better. He also rubs his hands together while flailing and they will come off that way too. Next thing we will have to tape them on. I let him have them off for a while and within 5 minutes, he had a firm grip on his cannula and was pulling as hard as he can.
We brought the second pack & play out to the living room so that the boys have a chance to get more restful naps when the other one is being cranky. Trevor sat over by the back doors and just stared at the new light source. He doesn’t seem to mind having the bed to himself to stretch out in.
Here’s a couple of pictures from today:
The coolest thing is that the boys are starting to become more aware of each other. If you turn the volume up on this video, you can hear Trevor talk/growling and hiccups.
The weight gain is great news. The video is precious. Next thing you know Brendan will trying to get Trevor to help him get his mittens off. So happy Brendan is close to 8 lbs. Love to all V
What a great video!! We love it! I could watch it over and over. I can’t wait to see them in person….in 3 weeks!!! What a wonderful Christmas gift to me from all of my daughters and grandchildren.
Brendan’s weight gain is wonderful news. He looks so good in the pictures today. They are both adorable, not that I am at all biased! 🙂 I am truly blessed and very proud to call them my grandchildren. Give them kisses from Gramma and Grampa.
Good Morning and Happy New Year from the East Coast! The boys are amazing! The video truly shows that Trevor is the best medicine for Brendan. Their connection is priceless!
